SPRINGFIELD, KY, Jan. 26.-Particulars of
fearful tragedy committed near SharpsvilIe,
small village few miles from here, in the
north end of this county, have been received
here. Yesterday afternoon Lud Cornish
called at the house of John Green. a respecta-
BILE farmer. At the time the only persons
about the house were Mrs. Green and her two
daughters, Lulu, aged eighteen, and Jennie
aged sixteen. Cornish entered the sitting
room and engaged the ladies in conversation.
A few moments after his entrance the
mother left the room. She had been
out very brief time, when a
pistol shot, quickly followed by another
report, came from the sitting room. where she
had left the girls and the man. a scream fol-
lowed the reports and the sound of a body
falling to the floor. The frantic mother
rushed into the room and found the bleeding
form of her eldest daughter stretched on the
floor. Cornish stood in the middle of the
room with Il smoking revolver in his hand,
and as the mother entered, raised and fired
third shot, the ball penetrating Mrs. Green's
hand. Cornish escaped from the house and fled
to his home, some miles away, and procuring
arms and ammunition barricaded the doors.
The neighbOIhOOd was soon aroused and the
sheriff notified, who summoned q determined
posse, who surrounded the house and.
although Cornish resisted, firing several
shots, he was finally put under arrest. Cor
lowed to visit the Green mansion for years,
and it seems had become infatuated with the
eldest daughter. 1t developed that the
reason for his murderOus attempt to-day was
that he had asked her hand in marriage and
had been refused by her.

DEs MONIES, Ia, Jan. 26.-[Special Tele-
gram TO the BEE Some time ago the
charge was made by the Iowa City Press, and
repeated throughout the state, that Mrs. j.
Ellen Foster, the noted temperance leader,
had been paid 1000 by the republican state
central committee in 1879 to prevent separate
political action by the prohibitionists. The
Press claimed to have in its possession stolen
letters which 1t was alleged substantiated the
charge, but after further examination it de-
nies the charge, and in to-day's issue the fol-
lowing explanation appears:
Reasons have been presented the Press to
show that in the campaign of 1879 Mrs. j &.
Ellen Foster did not directly nor indirectly
receive $1,000 nor any other sum,
as a consideration for preventing
the nomination of Temperance" ticket.
Reasons, not proof, have been given. The
iogiclans will agree that negative cannot
be proved in such a case. Only the aitirma-
tive can be disproved. The manner of pro-
curing these reasons and the circumstances
under which they are given preclude a de-
tailed account. Sufficient to say, they are
not from Mrs. Foster nor any member of the
committee of 1879, and that they are suf-
tcent to convince the Press that she did not
receive any sum. 1t was said that were the
unpublished correspondence of the commit
tee of 1879 printed, it would show how
groundless were the charges against her.
That correspondence may never be printed,
but the Press Is satisfied and for itself ac-
quits Mrs. Foster in the matter.

WAHOO'S BOOM.
Facts Which Show FlatterinS Pros
meets For Future Greatness

WAHoo, Neb., Jan. &C. Especial to the
BEE. The people of Wahoo are still
lingering in delicious state of expectancy
over her glowing prospects for future great
ness There are several reasons for this state
of things. WahoO now has three of the lead
ing railroads of the country, the d. & nj.
reaching here only few days ago. A corps
of surveyors are now surveying route for
the Missouri Pacific from Weeping Water to
this place, and it is rumored that the B. e
NJ will run another branch north from here
to Fremont and Norfolk and there is pros
from this place to Seward. Wahoo feels that
the railroad hub" is vlsibly protruding with
in her limits. She already has several factor
ies,and broom factOryand large creamery are
now assured. A packing house, glucose fac
tory. starch mills or any one of half dozen
Wahoo an excellent place in which to locate.
The electric plant is now in and nearly all
the wires. are stretched and appliances in
order. All the principal thoroushfareS of
the city and nearly all the business houses
will next week be lighted with "chained
lightning"
The question of an elaborate system of
waterwOrks will be before the citizens in
short time and doubtless another metropoli-
tan feature VIII be added to the rapidly in
creasing system of public improvements.
Every day increases the long list of plans
tor large brick blocks OF business houses and
costly and elegant es.denceS that will be
built during the coming spring and summer.
Grand Island Hastings, Beatrice and other
competing cities Tor third place Of size and
importance will soon lind that WahOO will
rank next TO Omaha and Lincoln. Wahoo's
future grows brighter every day, and it is
only question of a short time till she will
bear the title OF the third city of Importance
in NebraS ka.

ECK REVIEWS HIS CHALLENGE.
The Champion OF Canada Wants ia
Meet Prince.


Meet Prince.
Mr.. II. w. Eek, the champion bicyclist
of Canada, and one of the best known
wheelmen in the country, arrived in the
city yesterday from St. Louis, accom-
panied by his backer, Mr. Carlisle, where
he has been for several weeks. Mr.. Eek
came here with the expectation of max
ing a race with Frank L. Dingley, but as
that gentleman is absent from the city.
the Canadian champion has decided to
tackle John S. Prince, of Omaha, the
champion of America. Mr.. Eek left the
following challenge in this Office last
night:
To the Editor of the BEE: According to
my former challenge, j arrived in this city
yesterday with the expectation OF meeting
Mr., Frank +. DingIey in twenty-mile BIZ
cycle race and lind am to be disappointed,
as he has left the city. But in that challenge
! did not bar Mr.. John 5. Prince, and wish
to state ! am now prepared to meet Mr..
to fifty miles, but would prefer that the dis
tance should be twenty miles Now, | hope
this will meet with Mr. Princes and his
friends approval and that we can come to
terms for a race within two weeks time, as
! have some other engagements and would
like to race as soon as possible; Yours Re-
Champion of Canada.
Omaha, Jan. 26.
L. S.-Thls challenge is open to any other
rider in America.
Mr.. Prince, when spoken to in refer
encc to the proposed race last night, said
that the challenge was virtually an ac-
ceptance of his offer to meet any man in
America for any distance for any
amount. He said that he would accom-
modate Eek for any race he desired 10
make.
The race will doubtless be made, and
will probably take place some time next
week. Mr. Eek has also entered for the
six days race, which will be commenced
on the 2lst OF February, or the week fol-
loving
